Chapter 1011: Chapter 636: Daoist Monarch Enters the Tribulation (4K)

Yu Zuo Daoist Monarch hesitated slightly before speaking.

"Fellow Daoist Di Huang, the origins of the Cyan Dragon Mountain Range are exceptionally clear to our Water Mother Palace lineage, yet there is another Great Power’s scheme within, which is why we have never acted upon it! It wasn’t until today that we discovered changes within the Cyan Dragon Valley, hence Junior Sister Bai was brought as a mediator, and we hurriedly came to meet the Daoist Monarch!"

Stopping briefly, she solemnly continued, "If my divine self’s prediction is not mistaken, the relics within the Cyan Dragon Valley are in Fellow Daoist’s hands, among which there is surely an Ancestral Dragon relic. May I discuss with Fellow Daoist the handing over of this item to my divine self? Of course, my divine self is not unreasonable; the Eight Desolates Dragon Realm will undoubtedly owe Fellow Daoist a favor from now on, and if there’s anything needed, our Eight Desolates Dragon Realm will definitely not refuse!"

Zhang Jian’s expression remained unchanged, though he sneered internally.

To think a mere favor could trade for a Supreme Treasure — how could it be so simple?

If a favor were worth this much, wouldn’t it be without cost?

Zhang Jian maintained a neutral expression, merely replying with a calm smile.

"Does Fellow Daoist Yu Zuo know which Ancestral Dragon relic you desire?"

Yu Zuo Daoist Monarch’s expression became somber as she replied.

"The Middle-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure, Four Seas Pearl — a supreme divine object once used by the Ancestral Dragon to open the Wilderness Seas, and originally the Dragon Race’s destiny item. If Fellow Daoist is willing to return it, Yu Zuo would be deeply grateful!"

Upon hearing these words, Zhang Jian chuckled, shooting a glance at Yu Zuo Daoist Monarch.

"Doesn’t Fellow Daoist find such terms excessively unreasonable?"

"The value of an Innate Spiritual Treasure is something Fellow Daoist should understand; who can easily lend out such a treasure, let alone give it away!"

Yu Zuo Daoist Monarch showed no discolored expression, fully anticipating this turn of events, and then turned her gaze to Bai Liying.

"Junior Sister, what do you think?"

Upon hearing her, Bai Liying glanced at Yu Zuo Daoist Monarch and replied seriously.

"Fourth Senior Sister, I’ve done all that I could to help you, but what should not be helped is already settled. Since my husband is unwilling, he must have his reasons, and I — being insignificant — cannot interfere with his choice nor make decisions for him!"

Pausing briefly, she spoke again. "I came this journey under the command of the Sect Leader Senior Sister to walk alongside Fourth Senior Sister, and can do no more than this!"

Bai Liying slightly bowed and gracefully approached Zhang Jian beside her, with a trace of apology in her eyes.

"My lord..."

Zhang Jian, however, waved his hand and smiled.

"Mistress need not blame yourself; the troubles involved in this opportunity cannot be avoided either way!"

Yu Zuo Daoist Monarch sighed softly at this moment.

"Fellow Daoist Di Huang, as the Emperor of the Central Celestial Realm, renowned across All Heavens Void, and also Junior Sister’s husband, my divine self does not wish to trouble Fellow Daoist Di Huang. Yet this treasure is tied with our Dragon Race’s destiny, significantly impacting the Eight Desolates Dragon Realm and all Dragon Races across All Heavens, so my divine self must strive for it!"

"Fellow Daoist Di Huang, how about wagering a duel?"

Zhang Jian gazed at Yu Zuo Daoist Monarch indifferently and asked.

"How do we wager?"

Yu Zuo Daoist Monarch spoke earnestly.

"This matter cannot go without us having a duel; if my divine self is fortunate enough to surpass by half a move, I request Fellow Daoist to return the Four Seas Pearl to our Dragon Race. However, my divine self does not wish to take advantage of you; as part of the deal, you can choose any three treasures from my Eight Desolates Dragon Realm’s Treasure Vault, and at the same time, I will gift you with a Lower-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure!"

"And if I fortunate enough to win?"

Zhang Jian’s expression remained indifferent.

Yu Zuo Daoist Monarch’s lips curved into a peculiar smile, calmly replying.

"I would still offer a Dragon Race Spiritual Treasure as a gift, and allow Junior Sister Bai to choose any three treasures from my Eight Desolates Dragon Realm’s Treasure Vault as compensation!"

Her confidence was evident.

This confidence stemmed from the Dragon Race, and also from the Water Mother Daoist Palace.

As a disciple under the Water Mother, she had achieved Enlightenment long before Zhang Jian, and naturally possessed absolute confidence.

"My lord, Fourth Senior Sister achieved Enlightenment over ten Inference Eras ago; she’s a Second-Turn Daoist Monarch and has survived the Second Destruction Tribulation. Her Dao Practice is extraordinary, not someone to be trifled with..."

Bai Liying quietly conveyed through voice transmission.

Zhang Jian nodded slightly, then responded.

"This matter can be agreed upon, but the trial period is not now, but in three thousand years; the place for the duel must be within the Three Emperors Celestial Realm, not the Celestial Demon Realm. If Fellow Daoist Yu Zuo agrees, I shall accept this wager!"

The Celestial Demon Realm isn’t suitable for duels; there are too many strong demon race members here.

Winning or losing both could lead to trouble.

Yu Zuo Daoist Monarch glanced at Zhang Jian indifferently and nodded after brief contemplation.

"The Three Emperors Celestial Realm is indeed a neutral celestial realm known across All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, a suitable place for duels!"

Pausing slightly, Yu Zuo Daoist Monarch directed her gaze upon Bai Liying calmly.

"Junior Sister, will you return to the Eight Desolates Dragon Realm with me, or leave with Fellow Daoist Di Huang?"

Bai Liying replied.

"Fourth Senior Sister, I have some personal matters to discuss with my husband, so I will not be returning to the Eight Desolates Dragon Realm with Fourth Senior Sister!"

Yu Zuo Daoist Monarch nodded slightly and transformed into a vast rain mist, instantly departing.

Bai Liying then prepared to return to the Three Emperors Celestial Realm with Zhang Jian.

Zhang Jian did not blame Bai Liying.

Yet Bai Liying felt somewhat guilty.

She had initially accepted the invitation of several strong members from the Eight Desolates Dragon Realm to enter and cultivate there, not expecting to encounter certain machinations, ultimately becoming a pawn manipulated by Yu Zhu Daoist Monarch to restrain Zhang Jian.

With some regret, Zhang Jian expressed.

"Never thought that within the Water Mother Palace, there would be such scheming!"

Zhang Jian believed that Lady Water Mother’s will must have been involved in this event; otherwise, Yu Zuo Daoist Monarch would not have acted so brazenly.
